Chapter Fifteen – Drex Ryklin had me under observation. I may not have noticed if Zyrus hadn’t been staring at me for the last five minutes. It shouldn’t have mattered. Nothing did. But that wasn’t the case anymore. Not since Pippa. “Have you made any headway into finding security footage?” […]

Chapter Fourteen – Pippa My mind whirled with everything Drex had said as I got ready for work. I decided not to tell station security about the attack. I didn’t want them distracted from Fran’s murder, and it wasn’t like I’d been hurt, just shaken up. Drex hadn’t liked it […]

Chapter Thirteen – Pippa My quarters had never felt so small until Drex came to them. Or perhaps I was just too aware of him. I could have stayed on his lap all night, stealing kisses and hoping for more. But there was a tension to him, and it wasn’t […]

Chapter Eight – Drex “Zyrus has the engineering duty roster,” Ryklin informed me as I finished washing up after my shift. We’d been assigned to different parts of the station, so he arrived back to our quarters earlier than usual and had gotten straight to work on the investigation. “Have […]

Chapter Seven – Pippa I woke up with a scream and tried to bite it back before anyone heard through my room’s thin walls. I sat up in my bed and heaved in breaths that racked my whole body. The nightmare tried to cling to me, tried to suck me […]

Chapter Six – Drex “Something is wrong on the station,” I told Ryklin once I returned to my quarters. My skin could still feel the imprint of Pippa’s body pressed against me, and the wetness of her tears made the noise in my head roar to something that nearly drowned […]
